Fitbit just tapped supermodels Erin Heatherton and Hilary Rhoda to kick off the first of three celebrity challenges. The idea is to pit two athletic dynamos in various industries against each other to see who can log the most activity in a single week, all to benefit the American Heart Association. First up, these two hot-steppers will see who can out-step one another by Friday: "When I got the call to do this challenge, I had just ordered a Fitbit, like, an hour before," laughs Heatherton, above left. "It was the most motivational thing [to work out] that I've ever had." For a swimsuit and lingerie model, working out is not optional, and there's no off season, even in the dead of winter. "I have to look good all year," she explains, "But it's really for me. Since I was young I was an athlete and I always like to feel good in my skin. I respect my body a lot." Her workouts of choice: "My favorite workout is Ballet Beautiful. I played basketball and did track and kind of hard-on-your-body sports my whole life that aren't really geared toward being elegant and long," she told us. "I get really read more

Around here, we love news about celebrity kids who want to follow in a parent's footsteps (hello, Dylan Brosnan! Hi, Sailor Brinkley Cook!). We've arrived at the age where the biggest supermodels of the '90s have teenage kids and—no surprise—they're stunning. Cindy Crawford's daughter Kaia has dabbled in the modeling world before, but it sounds like she's eager to start working even more. A photo posted by Kaia Gerber (@kaiagerber) on Nov 11, 2014 at 8:04am PST "She's kind of chomping at the bit, and the Teen Vogue piece seemed like an appropriate thing to do," Cindy told the London Evening Standard regarding the above snap that's included in an upcoming issue of the magazine. "She's still only 13 and too young to know what she wants to do. I think even doing this photo shoot, while it was fun, also she realizes it's not only fun. It's a job. It's not just about sitting there having hair and makeup done and putting pretty dresses on." Cindy also sounded a little jealous social media wasn't around in her heyday, interesting since a lot of celebs will say how grateful they are that that microscope didn't exist as they were growing read more

Two pieces of fashion news need discussing: Rihanna's latest move and Naomi Campbell's stunning campaign for Agent Provocateur. To start with, RiRi's latest design aspirations have landed her the creative director spot at Puma, per WWD, where she'll customize classic pieces and add new ones, along with acting as global brand ambassador. She's following in some famous footsteps too: Solange was given a very similar title at the brand a year ago. For the sexiest news of the day, we have these snaps of Naomi for the lingerie brand's spring 2015 campaign. I know the major qualifications for being a legendary supermodel are a gorgeous face and banging bod, but I'd like to submit all these photos as proof that she's taken it to the outer reaches of bombshell-hood. Hello. She's 44! Any Naomi superfans out there? And what do you guys think about Rihanna's appointment? Will you be interested to check out what she does for the brand? read more

From my morning perch, it's seriously rainy and gray and looking like the type of day that makes you want to crawl back into bed. Since that's not an option, let's share the one thing guaranteed to put you in a sunny mood: a video of Victoria's Secret Angels lip-synching to Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off." They do an impressive job of getting all the lyrics perfectly right, and before you put on your headphones, prepare to lose, like, 15 full minutes. You're going to want to watch it more than once. I spy Karlie Kloss, Alessandra Ambrosio, Behati Prinsloo, Doutzen Kroes, Candice Swanepoel, Lily Aldridge, and Adriana Lima, which leads me to the obvious question... Who's your favorite Angel? Are you planning on watching the show tonight? PS: And because we can't discuss a supermodel music video without dusting off this bad boy: read more

Maybe it's what living in an apartment for the past 10 odd years has done to me, but I absolutely salivate when I see a spacious, well-designed walk-in closet. The latest to grab my attention and make me stop everything I was doing belongs to supermodel Stephanie Seymour and is being shared on The Estée Edit. In an accompanying interview with Fashionista, she said she keeps her children out with a bolted door and believes in the power of drawers. "You want to keep everything in either boxes or in acid-free tissue. It's all climate-controlled, of course, and all of the drawers are glass, and there's space on each side for a picture so I can see what's inside." Oh, to be a supermodel. Crazy amazing things of note in this shot? The wallpaper, the personal mementos laid out, and the row of what looks like eight Hermès bags standing proudly front to back (she said she's been collecting them for over 20 years). Things that have just been added to my future dream closet wish list: a tufted pink chair, a dress form to display something fantastic, and a skinny cupboard section just for my dress coats. I'm really read more

Without actually knowing Cara Delevingne, I think we can all agree that she's a massive goofball (maybe the kookiest supermodel ever). From the crazy faces to the obsession with bacon, she's f-u-n. A behind-the-scenes video from her recent campaign with John Hardy has just confirmed it, showing how brilliant she is at morphing from super silly to super sexy. You can look at her body of modeling work and know she's good at the whole seductive-siren thing, but dang. This is some seriously impressive on-and-off stuff. It also makes me understand why she's gotten cast in so many movies recently. In fact, this entire video could've been an audition tape for Zoolander as far as I'm concerned. Does this feel like proof that she's got some acting chops? Are you impressed by how quickly she can turn it on? read more

Back in 1972 Beverly Johnson (often called the first black supermodel) got her big break in Glamour. In honor of our upcoming 75th anniversary, model Arlenis Sosa interviews the icon. Arlenis Sosa: Your first modeling job was with Glamour—how did you get that? Beverly Johnson: A friend who was convinced I should be a model got me an appointment at Glamour. They told me to take a typing test, but I acted like I couldn’t even type. I had 20 words on the page. They said, why don’t you go get something to eat, and when I got back, they offered me a 10-day modeling job. Can you imagine? AS: And you went on to have 15 covers for Glamour alone! How did that first March 1972 cover come about? BJ: I had no idea they were taking a photo for the cover! I’d been traveling and shooting with them a lot—frankly, everything that I know about fashion, travel, and culture is because of Glamour! After that, people would recognize me as the Glamour cover girl. AS: Have you mentored other models? BJ: I befriended other young models because that’s what Naomi Sims did for me. I remember driving Naomi read more

So she's baring all for Playboy a month before she turns the big 4-0 (40 is seriously the new 25, guys), and when she tells us how to wear an over-the-knee-boot, we all stop to listen. No wonder that now, more than ever, everyone is obsessed with Kate Moss. And also why we're crowning the supermodel the Glamour Style Icon of the Week. Kate burst onto the scene at age 16 when she appeared on an iconic cover of Brit style mag The Face. Then came the (in)famous Calvin Klein campaigns, especially the legendary shirtless one with Marky Mark Wahlberg. Yes, like both of them shirtless. She also strutted up the ranks with fellow supes (as in the real deal with a capital S Supermodels) including BFF Naomi Campbell. I know it was like decades many SOs ago, but seriously, Kate Moss and Johnny Depp were one of the most beautiful model-actor couples ever. Here they are on the Donnie Brasco premiere red carpet in 1997—Kate looks divine in what will be come one of many of her signature vintage looks. As one of the world's most successful models, Kate is a total chameleon. Remember when she had the pixie read more

Tyra Banks has impersonated 15 of the most iconic supermodels to ever walk New York Fashion Week as part of a new exhibition that will open in New York City on Monday evening. On Sunday, she gave us a sneak peek at her transformation into three of them: Cindy Crawford, Kate Moss, and Cara Delevingne. I think you'll agree she's done an amazing job of capturing each model. Take a look! "It was amazing to be physically transformed into my idol, @CindyCrawford... #Fierce mole, hair & all!" Tyra tweeted. "Hid my booty & boobies like a pro, for a pro - all to look & pose just like #SuperModel Kate Moss!" "4 hours of hair & makeup later, I've become ubermodel @Caradelevingne! Fierce & love to #LA & #London." In addition to Cindy, Kate, and Cara, Tyra said she also transformed into Linda Evangelista, Kate Upton, Karlie Kloss, Jerry Hall, Lauren Hutton, Iman, Twiggy, Brooke Shields, Claudia Schiffer, Grace Jones, and Carmen Dell'Orefice. I guess we'll have to wait for the exhibition for those pics! What do you think of Tyra's transformations so far? Which one is the best? read more

It's no surprise to fashion followers, Gisele Bundchen is the highest-paid supermodel in the world. According to Forbes, the beachy waved Brazilian made a whopping $42 million (no, that's not a typo) last year. Gisele's hefty paycheck is mainly due to her merchandising deals with Ipanema flip-flops, a lingerie collection, and several accessories lines, according to Forbes. But I think it's interesting to see who else is on the coveted list of top-paid models. Street-style sensation and Victoria's Secret Angel Miranda Kerr came in second, earning $7.2 million. She also runs her own beauty line, Kora Organics, and is the face of Mango, Lipton, and the airline Quantas. Miranda's friend Adriana Lima nabbed the third spot on the Forbes list, earning $6 million last year. Adriana's name is practically synonymous with Victoria's Secret now (she's been an Angel since 2000), but she's also had endorsement deals with Donna Karan and Miu Miu. Kate Moss landed in fourth place, making $5.7 million. The model, who made it big in the '90s, is looking better than ever and has contracts with beauty company Rimmel (I can just picture her saying "Get the London Look!") and Vogue Eyewear. Up next, she is featured read more

Sure, supermodels are genetically gifted lucky ducks who get paid to take care of their bodies and eat right. But even they have secrets they rely on when they need an extra boost of confidence to look great in a bikini or lingerie--tips even we nonmodels can use when it's time to hit the beach. Read on to find out some top models' clever confidence tricks (and, no, Photoshop isn't one of them). read more

My girl crush and the coolest supermodel around, Christy Turlington, proves she's still got it in her first new ad for Calvin Klein Underwear. Yes, ladies, this is what 44 looks like! As you know, the supermodels from the 1990s are making a major comeback this season, and Christy is leading the charge by appearing in ad campaigns for Calvin Klein, Prada, and Jason Wu. Earlier this year, Calvin Klein gave us a sneak peek at Christy's return to the underwear campaign, but this ad is really going to turn heads. What do you think of Christy's ad for Calvin Klein Underwear? Do you want to see her pop up in more ad campaigns? read more

Maybe I am dating myself a little here, but do you remember watching Cindy Crawford on MTV's House of Style? She hosted this show during the height of the supermodel era back in the 1990s and later was followed by hosts such as Rebecca Romijn and Mollie Sims. All the old episodes we loved from House of Style are coming online—and if this isn't further proof that we are all kind of obsessed with everything 1990s related, I don't know what is. I wonder if models today are feeling a little annoyed by the resurgence of Cindy, Kate, Naomi, and Christy (they don't need last names, obviously!). Kate is everywhere, modeling for Stuart Weitzman and Playboy; Naomi just opened the Versace show at Paris Couture, and Christy Turlington is appearing in ads again for Calvin Klein, Jason Wu, and Prada. If you're feeling a little nostalgic all of a sudden, I don't blame you! The new incarnation of House of Style with Karlie Kloss and Joan Smalls is fun but nothing like the original! Are you excited to check out the old episodes online? Who was your favorite House of Style host? Photo: Getty Images read more

It'll surprise few people that Coco Rocha--famous for giving ridiculously good face, and now, being on The Face--can execute a photobomb like a total pro. She recently paid a visit to Buzzfeed, where she showed their staff exactly how it's done. Consider yourselves educated, dolls: Now go forth and photobomb like a supermodel! read more

Photographing Kate Upton in anything other than a bikini is like going to a steakhouse and ordering a salad--unholy!--so it was wise for British brand Accessorize to shoot the bombshell in a series of swimsuits for their new spring ad campaign. Of course, she gets to wear some actual clothes, too, but her signature curves are what really make the shoot sizzle: You can see the rest of the photos over at the Huffington Post. What do you think, ladies? Was she a good choice for this campaign? Do you think she has staying power in the modeling world? Discuss! Photos: courtesy of Accessorize read more

Who wouldn't want to follow in the ridiculously well-heeled footsteps of style icons Jane Birkin and Grace Kelly, both of whom have Hermés handbags named after them? Claudia Schiffer, apparently. The Telegraph UK dug up this fascinating nugget from an issue of Elle Collections, where supermodels were asked what advice they would give their teenaged selves. Here's Claudia's answer: "In five years time Hermés will ask if they can name a bag after you, as they have Kelly and Birkin. Ignore your agent and say 'Yes.'" The paper wonders, "Was this the work of hawk-eyed agent Michel Levaton who discovered the 17-year-old Schiffer in a Düsseldorf nightclub?" We bet he's kicking himself right about now... read more

Spending decades strutting on the runways of the world's biggest designers must help a model amass one heck of a serious wardrobe, right? In the case of supers Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss, the answer is a resounding yes... The longtime friends had a chat with each other for the latest issue of German Interview, where they reveal that their closets are indeed as jammed with amazingness as we've always imagined. Kate says she's hoping to pass her collection on to her daughter, Lila Grace, one day, though it's not as robust as it could have been (blame it on hard partying!): "I have lost so much stuff. I don’t know where it all is. The fashion from back then was simply super. I collect things. I have heaps of Vivienne Westwood stuff. Now they are like museum pieces." Naomi's been a bit more careful: "I have lots of pieces from the Thirties," she tells her friend in the interview, via the Daily Mail. "I found a good firm that documents it all. They are in my storeroom in New York. It is a pretty good collection and I have never given any of it away. Yves Saint Laurent, Versace, read more

It's no longer cool enough for a model to swear she eats steak and cupcakes like, all the time: The next generation of girls are getting busy at the stove, as the forthcoming book Model Kitchen proves. Jourdan Dunn, Toni Garn, and Karlie Kloss at the grill this past summer The book, compiled by male model and food enthusiast Cesar Casier (check out his super-cute food blog, The Cesar Salad), is already on sale in Belgium, according to the Huffington Post, and he's seeking a publisher in NYC to bring it stateside. The Telegraph has the dish on which lovely ladies are cooking up what: Lily Donaldson's recipe is a fresh kale salad, Milla Jovovich shares her favorite baked salmon and asparagus, and Karlie Kloss (who's already found kitchen fame thanks to her scrumptious Karlie's Kookies) serves up mango salsa. So, why a model cookbook? "I left home for modeling and I didn’t want to go to all these fast-food restaurants, so I started to learn to cook," Cesar told style.com back in October. "So, I decided to make a cookbook about what models eat." We're guessing there are plenty of people who want to dig in. What do you read more
